Creating my first app

Assuming you're able to run the app, you should see a blank screen that says 'Home Screen'.

1. Edit src/backend/server.js and create your backend server that can communicate and serve assets to the frontend. This is similar to Electron! The only difference here is that with nodejs-mobile, the frontend controls the lifecycle of the backend, rather than the other way around.
2. Communicate between the backend and frontend in src/frontend/api.js and src/backend/server.js using rn-bridge, localhost http requests, or websockets depending on what you need (e.g., static assets should go over http requests, while commands to Node.js can be done using the rn-bridge package).
3. Create your front-end at src/frontend/AppContainer.js!
4. Add your logo and splash screen to android/app/src/main/res/*/*.png and android/app/src/qa/res/*/*.png
